Description

Genus Oligotoma Westwood 1837

Diagnosis. Distinguished from other Oligotomidae by the left basipodite (LCB) projecting mesad as a lobe. Distribution. Cosmopolitan (Ross 1955)

Remarks. Oligotoma, together with Aposthonia, is one of the largest genera of Embioptera and several of its species are relatively common because of their rapid (anthropogenic) dispersal (Ross 2007).
